upload file outside the root folder?

I am confuse how to upload file outside the www root file. Here, the www root file is in the C drive. But I want to upload the file in the Z drive of the server. I have following php script to upload file. Here, I have uploaded file in www/uploadApps/file but I have to upload file in the another folder that is outside the www root folder and which is in another drive.

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],  "file/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);

Use an absolute path to point exactly where you want to store/retrieve the file from.

//Relative paths
$filePath = "file/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$filePath = "/file/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

//Absolute paths
$filePath = "C:/www/uploadApps/file/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];
$filePath = "Z:/file/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"];

instead of "file/", use an absolute path of where you want to file to be copied to.

for instance:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"],  "Z:/somefolder/" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
